As I’ve still got a fair bit of time to kill I am going to watch another #hacker adjacent movie today, crime caper Fled from back in 1996. Lawrence Fishburne escapes from a prison chain gang shackled to Stephen Baldwin who plays some kind of high tech fraudster.

I’m finally watching “Bait” today, a 2000 crime comedy (?) that I think revolves around an attempt to apprehend a #hacker, with various hijinks interspersed. It looks cheesy as hell.

For a few years I kept wondering how to explain the #hacker approach to #technology - most people don't understand why modify what's already working?
I realized I need to show someone for whom the technology is not working - a person with a #disability , someone who chooses to modify their tools to fit them instead of modifying their own body to fit the tech.
I'm talking about #narrative s like this.
This is the human-centered #solarpunk tech for me.
Hey Electronics + Radio Nerds, is there a way to use an attenuator as a switch?
Someone gave me a 12 position rotary attenuator hoping we could use it as a multi-position switch in a microcontroller project but I've yet to figure out if it's possible.
Time to rethink going to security conferences or #hacker conventions in the U.S., if you haven’t already considered the dangers involved.

Ein Beispiel: Der #CCC enthüllte, wie rechte Netzwerke #Polizei und Geheimdienste unterwandern. Das war kein „Angriff auf den Staat“, sondern Schutz der #Demokratie. #Hacker nutzen Wissen, um #Machtmissbrauch sichtbar zu machen – auch den von #Faschisten.

Ob digitale Selbstverteidigung, Leaks oder investigative Arbeit – antifaschistischer #Widerstand ist eine logische Konsequenz der #Hackerethik. Freiheit stirbt, wenn niemand sie verteidigt. Und wer, wenn nicht #Hacker, kann das besser?

#Faschismus kann nur existieren, wenn Menschen nicht #hinterfragen. #Hacker hinterfragen alles. Jede autoritäre Struktur, jede #Lüge, jede Kontrolle. Deswegen hassen #Faschisten kritische Denker und deswegen müssen Hacker antifaschistisch sein.
